The Work of the Disciple & the NGWS.

All day today is the Full moon day, solar festival day, eclipse day & evening.
Tuesday, September 17, 2024.
Mars, Ray 6 rules the day.
Virgo is both Rays 2 & 6 –
Love/wisdom & vision, hopes, wishes & dreams.

Today & tonight – our day & night of Dedication.
Lunar eclipse in Pisces, Solar event in Virgo.
A lunar eclipse during a full moon, under the Light of Virgo.
Pisces moon partially hidden. As the moon receives the Light of Virgo. The moon then radiates the Virgo light, even though it’s partially eclipsed, down into the hearts & minds of humanity.

Virgo – the six pointed star, the Temple of Solomon.
Virgo is the mother, hiding both the soul & spirit within her.
Virgo is matter – form & matter. Behind matter is substance, the magical quality which is Divine & filled with intelligence.
We think on those words.

Virgo says – Let form be sought (so we can learn about form in the Mystery school of Earth – for in form & matter we experience life far away from our original home & in our livingness we absorb the light of the Sun & bring that light down & it redeems the Earth & makes it sacred.
We ponder on those words.

Humanity is the Madonna under Virgo.
She says I am the Mother (mater, matter).
Within me is the Holy Child, hidden.
Within me is also the Father & we are One.
There are three of us – Matter/Spirit/Soul.
We are a triangle of Light.
I am the Mother, I am the Child. I am the Father, too.
I, God. I, Matter. Am. We are all three One.
We think on these words.

And so the meditation –

In the Ashram (visualization) during the Meditation, the two lights of Virgo entered the Great Room where all NGWS were gathered. The Light of Form gradually dimmed, as the Light of Christ, the Holy Child, gestating within the Madonna, gradually became brighter and brighter. Our group magnetically gathered around the waxing light.

It seemed important to understand the three levels of Virgo through the Ages – Eve in the Garden of Eden, Isis in Egypt, and finally Mary with Child (the only Virgin with Child in her arms) for our present times. The meditation was focused upon these three aspects/developmental stages of humanity during our involutionary phase (Eve, Isis). And the importance of Mary with Child, an image that introduces us to the beginning of the evolutionary phase.

Understanding the symbols & codes contained in matter and in our religious symbols (veiling spirit, as the Moon veils Vulcan & Neptune), prayers and rituals.
Understanding (uncovering the mysteries) the differences of Virgo on the three crosses:
1. Mutable (cross of experience, building the personality) – adapting to anything, anywhere (Mercury – gathering needed information & experience)
2. Fixed (cross of personality becoming aware of the Soul) – back and forth rhythm – full to empty, full to empty, devotion, seeking (Moon/Vulcan – being forged in the fires of transformation via Vulcan the forger, daily life in upheaval of change)
3. Cardinal (cross wherein the personality & Soul fuse & blend, one is a Soul centered personality) – nourishing & caring, healing & serving (Jupiter, Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom)

The entrance into the ‘cave of the heart”, the gestation process of Virgo, which is also the beginning of the “dark half of the year” when we, like the tasks of Virgo, assimilate, systematize, order and organize the information from the Light half of the year. As we enter the ‘cave of the heart” we prepare with intention for Winter Solstice.
